Topeka Legislature Nears Adjournment Amid Tax Debates
In Topeka the Legislature appears set to adjourn by Saturday night as a majority plan to end work. The House remains unruly while the Senate rejects a lax Y M C A tax bill and supports a bill taxing only property actually used by such societies. Good Roads bills gain momentum with Hodges Ruck Road and Audess Drag bills advanced, and Mitchell Truck Road bill endorsed by the Senate. The Taft period provisions shift road costs to adjacent owners, with a five year levy limit.
